In recent years, a national programme for outcome measurement has been introduced in the United Kingdom. Method A pragmatic literature search was conducted to select instruments commonly used to measure depression either in research or as recommended by UK national bodies. Results 15 depression rating scales were identified. Diagnostic instruments and rating scales are described. Conclusions Recent large depression trials have produced additional new data, and UK national organisations have made recommendations regarding the implementation of certain instruments. |
